He also wanted to sutdy something about Japanese culture. He was surprised that there were a lot of rules and manners in Japan , but now he has gotten usred to Japanese life. Then he said he wants Japanese to become more open. Last, we asked him, "Will you go back home after retirement ?"

Famous kungfu star Jackie Chan

Today I will introduce a famous star who makes movies and who is an actor. His name is Jackie Chan. He is very famous star in China, even in Hollywood. When he was young he began to study Chinese gongfu and classical Chinese opera. He wants to be a director and an International superstar, so he must go to Hollywood, because Hollywood is bigger than Chinese film market. He went to Hollywood in 1982, but he failed. He didn’t lose heart, and after some years he returns to Hollywood. Jackie then co-starred with Chris Tucker in the 1998 buddy cop action comedy Rush Hour. He is a very professional actor. When he shoots a dangerous film he never uses stunt nen, he always does it by himself.

When we graduate from university or high school, we will face a choice. Now a lot of students don’t know what they will do in the future. So I made a survey about future.I asked six students five questions. All of the six students are female. The first question is “what do you want to do when you graduate from school?” 95% choose (2) to work. 5% choose (4) other.
I was interested in question 2. That is “if you choose to go on to study in graduate school what kind of university do you want to go?” In this question 95% (3) university abroad. From this question we can see the students in this time want to go abroad to study they want to go elsewhere for a change,and they want to study something about an other country’s culture.
I didn’t ask all of the students, just six female students. But from these students we know most of the female students also want to work and go abroad, but a small number female student want to get married when they graduate.
